xemacs repo: a lot of anonymous branches: evolve: add named branches

Hi

I just digged a bit in the history of  the xemacs repository  in bitbucket.

https://bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs

It turns out that there are tons of anonymous branches.

Just do a 

hg log | grep 9624523604c5

Or 

hg log -G | grep 9624523604c5

And see for yourself.

This is a public repository (and goes back to 2007 a time where
mercurial maybe did have bookmarks nor named branches).

Is there any possibility, with the evolve extension to change these
anonymous branches to named branches??

I presume this is impossible because it is a public repository,
nevertheless I am curious.

Thanks
